Thousands of Northern fur seals and Steller sea lions call Tyuleniy Island their home. The island is appropriately named, as the word tyuleniy means “seal” in Russian. During the summer months, tens of thousands of seals and sea lions haul ashore here during the breeding season. The cacophony of their barks, belches, grunts and groans is difficult to imagine. Bulls, their harems, and many thousands of young black pups all jostle for space on the crowded beaches that flank the small rocky island.

It is the highest volcano in the Kuril Islands and over time generated the black lava beaches and the eroding Taketomi tufa limestone cone near the landing site. At one time a women’s prison, or gulag, was located on Atlasova. The women, many of them political prisoners during the Soviet rule, were sent here to raise foxes for fur. Peregrine Falcons can sometimes be spotted flying above the beach, while buzzards, Eurasian Wigeons, and Tufted Ducks have all been observed on the island.

The Kamchatka Peninsula is part of the Eastern frontier of Russia.

As a result, the territory was closed for many years to foreigners and Russians alike. Fortunately, the region's isolated position played a significant role in preserving and protecting its unique wilderness and rich biodiversity. With few roads, most regional transportation is by plane, boat, or helicopter.

PROGRAM IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

On your way to Denali, stop for an exclusive experience at the home of four-time Iditarod champion Martin Buser to learn about the Last Great Race and the wonderful champion dogs he raises and trains for mushing. Denali National Park is a four million acre wildlife refuge surrounding Mount Denali, the tallest mountain in North America. The park is home to an abundance of wildlife including bears, caribou, Dall sheep, gray wolves and moose. The highlight of your Alaskan adventure will undoubtedly be the flightseeing in the shadow of 'The Great One'. Enjoy a train ride on the famous Alaska Railroad from Denali to Anchorage.

Please note: Guests should schedule their homeward flights out of Anchorage. Guests who require a visa for entry into the United States must obtain it prior to travel.

IMPORTANT: TO INSURE PROPER WEIGHT AND BALANCE ON YOUR FLIGHTSEEING PLANE, GUESTS MUST PROVIDE THEIR ACCURATE WEIGHT NO LESS THAN 60 DAYS PRIOR TO CRUISE DEPARTURE.

DAY 1 - SEWARD / GIRDWOOD

Debark and bid farewell to the Silversea ship as you board our exclusive train heading north. A quick stop in the town of Girdwood will allow you to disembark the train. Transfer from the station to the Hotel Alyeska. Following check-in, the balance of the day (including all meals) is at your leisure. Included in your stay is a ticket to ride the Aerial Tram to the top of Mt. Alyeska for a superb panoramic view of the valley.

Overnight at the Alyeska Resort, Girdwood, AK

DAY 2 - GIRDWOOD / DENALI

After breakfast at the hotel, board the waiting transportation to depart on a full-day scenic motor coach trip to Denali. A boxed lunch will be provided. Stop en-route at Martin Buser's home for an exclusive visit, where the four-time Iditarod Champion will regale you with tales of the Last Great Race and the wonderful champion dogs he raises and trains for mushing. Martin became fascinated with sled dogs while still a teen. He came to Alaska in 1979 to enhance his knowledge of care and training of sled dogs. He began working and training with long-time Alaskan mushers Earl and Natalie Norris and ran his first Iditarod in 1980.

Arriving in Denali in the mid to late afternoon, check-in to your hotel. Enjoy a reception with a mountain climber speaker. Afterwards you may wish to take advantage of the extended sunlight and enjoy an evening stroll through town. Dinner tonight is on your own.

Overnight at the Grand Denali Lodge (or similar) in Denali National Park

DAY 3 - DENALI

Enjoy a hearty Alaskan-style breakfast at the hotel early this morning before heading out deep into the National Park. Please be aware that these tours are offered in conjunction with local native Alaskans and the only type of transportation permitted are often the same school busses that local children use in the rugged winter months.

Join with other travelers from around the world on the first half of a fully-guided Tundra Wilderness Tour; you'll get an ongoing informational talk from your driver/guide, along with wildlife spotting and spectacular scenery.

At the end of the lone road leading into the park, arrive at the Denali Backcountry Lodge where you can explore the area and enjoy lunch. Then head over to the air strip for the flightseeing experience you've been waiting for. The small aircraft only accommodate up to 6 guests per plane and you can look forward to approximately 1 hour in the air. Note: In the event of inclement weather, guests may need to return to the Park entrance by bus.

Denali Park is the Crown Jewel of the North with unparalleled beauty and grandeur. Unless you set off on a month long climbing expedition in Denali Park there is no other way to experience the amazing landscapes that are hidden from the view from the Denali Park road or Highway. Views from the train or bus can be awe inspiring but these sights only scratch the surface of what one can see from the air.

More glaciers than one can count, most over 20 miles in length, towering granite walls, snow and ice covered peaks for as far as the eye can see are just a few of the attractions you will see on a typical flight. Denali (Mt. McKinley) is located approx. 60 miles from the entrance of the park, meaning flightseeing tours from Kantishna will give you more time over glaciers and right up close to Denali.

Land back at the entrance to Denali National Park and return to the hotel. The balance of the day is at your leisure. Enjoy dinner on your own this evening.

Overnight at the Grand Denali Lodge in Denali National Park

DAY 4 - DENALI / ANCHORAGE

After breakfast at the hotel, the morning is yours to relax or enjoy one of several optional excursions that will be available.

Late morning, transfer to the rail depot and board the Alaska Railroad (Deluxe Dome Railcar Service) for the scenic ride to Talkeetna. During your thrilling ride through the thick forests and along the edges of steep valleys, you may catch a glimpse of native wildlife from the comfort of your glass-domed rail car. Along the way cross Hurricane Gulch, perched more than 300 feet (91 metres) above the river below

The highlight of today will be passing 300+ feet over Hurricane Gulch. Seating is under windows that extend 180 degrees around you, so you'll be able to thrill at the majesty of this and other sites along the way. There is even an open-air platform if you'd like to step outside and stretch your legs a bit.

Lunch will be served in the dining salon at mid-day. You will be amazed at the variety of items the chefs can prepare - from delicious hot and cold Alaskan specialties to authentic reindeer chili!

At Talkeetna disembark the train and take this opportunity to stretch your legs a bit. Board a motorcoach for the last leg of your journey to Anchorage and the Captain Cook Hotel. Dinner this evening is on your own.

Overnight at the Captain Cook Hotel

melhores momentos da viagem

Join us for a journey around the Kuril and Aleutian Islands. This is an incredible opportunity to witness the people and wildlife that thrive in this desolate and wild part of the world. Experience distinctive cultural presentations in Korsakov on Sakhalin Island and in Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Take Zodiac cruises to find whales, seals, and brown bears. Observe Bald Eagles up close in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Hike the side of Yankicha Island to see the magnificent caldera. Enjoy landscapes that have barely been touched by human hands and take in sulphur springs and fumaroles that will remind you of just how active the ground is beneath your feet. Throughout the voyage, learn about the geology, wildlife and botany of this spectacular area from lecture presentations offered by your knowledgeable on board Expedition Team.

Voyage Highlights:

Tyuleniy Island, Russia–
Located in the Sea of Okhotsk, this island is home to a massive fur seal haul-out and was a site of much illegal seal hunting in the late 1800s. Cruise around the island by Zodiac and enjoy watching the prolific Northern fur seals, Stellar sea lions and Common Guillemots.

Yankicha Island, Russia –
Yankicha Island is the southernmost islet that makes up Ushishir Island. A caldera formed at its center is accessible by Zodiac at high tide. Here, it is possible to hike to the highest point of the island and take in impressive views of the sea and caldera below. Near the landing site there are fumaroles and hot springs that bubble up from the tectonic plates moving beneath the island. Lucky and observant visitors to the island might even spot an Artic fox.

Dutch Harbor, Alaska –
Bald eagles are plentiful in Dutch Harbor, a settlement ringed by gracious mountains. This area is frequented by eagles for the abundant fish present in the harbour and for the salmon running in local streams. The island was originally inhabited by Aleut people, and the town’s culture is also influenced by the Russian traders who frequented the area in search of sea otter and seal pelts. Dutch Harbor is an important fishing port made famous in the Discovery Channel television series, “The Deadliest Catch.” In addition, the effects of WW2 can still be felt in this dynamic and remote port town.

Unga Island, Alaska–
This 15-mile-long island is home to a ghost town that was once a mining village established in 1888. The last family left Unga in 1969 and now only the brilliant stalks of fireweed flowers poke out between the bleached beams and abandoned doorways of the buildings slowly being overtaken by nature.

Geographic Harbor, Alaska–
Located at the head of Amalik Bay in the Katmai National Park, this is an ideal habitat for brown bears. These massive mammals forage for berries, fish for salmon and dig for clams at low tide. The waters around the bay are ideal fishing grounds frequented by otters, seabirds and whales searching for food.

Cultural Highlights:

• Visit Russian Orthodox Churches and museums
• Experience cultural presentations in Korsakov on Sakhalin Island and in the mainland Russian town of Petropavlovsk

Please note: Expedition highlights and wildlife listed here are possible experiences only and cannot be guaranteed. Your Expedition Leader and Captain will work together to ensure opportunities for adventure and exploration are the best possible, taking into account the prevailing weather, wildlife activity and ice conditions. Expedition Team members scheduled for this voyage are subject to change or cancellation.
